What are Blogs? Why have they become so popular especially for businesses?
Well, a blog is a journal which is updated frequently and reflects the writer’s observations and views about a particular topic or subject. Blogs have created quite a storm in the Internet world and is one of the most popular ways to spread your word around the world. It is not just sufficient to write a good blog but also to ensure that people notice it or get to hear about it and read it.
One of the mediums by which you can attract traffic to your blog is through Social Networking sites. Most people have not been able to resist the temptation of social networking sites and are completely hooked. Hence, if you can get word about your blog on these sites your readership numbers will only escalate.
So, how do you go about promoting your blog on social networking websites?
Stay Active on sites: It is important to stay active by contributing on these sites. You can talk about your journal /blog, create an interest in the readers and subtly post links to your blog just in case they would like to hear more from you.
Appealing online persona: Merely signing up at a social networking site and posting links to your blog is not enough. You need to ensure that your target audience is not only attracted to your blog / website, but will want to keep coming back as well as spreading the word around. You can do this by ensuring that the content of your blog is what your target audience is looking for. Including appropriate and high quality images will definitely boost the visual appeal of your blog.
Link posts to your social media profiles: For instance you can create your own page or group on Facebook or any other social media site and post your individual blog there. This will increase interactions between your readers as well as you, indirectly creating a sort of community bond.
Install share buttons: Many a time, readers on social networking sites want to share interesting content within their network. By including share-buttons or plug-ins at the end of your post, you can make the sharing option as quick and easy for them to do so. Each share is going to increase awareness and chances of more traffic to your blog.
Don’t go overboard: Over promoting your blog on social network sites can have an adverse outcome. Starting your every post with “Read my blog”, “Visit my blog”, etc. can get a bit of annoying to others in the community and can come across as being needy. Instead what you should do is talk about your views, contribute to the discussions going on, give a fair amount of credit to other people's views and contents. By doing so, you are going to build a good relationship with others and perhaps they would want to know more of what you have to offer and maybe even share your blog details with others.
In conclusion, I would say that the best way to promote your blog using social networks is to build a relationship with your target audience. Listen to what they say and incorporate it in your blog, appreciate what they have to offer by commenting on or liking their posts.
Create personal bonds by tagging names of the people in your circle on relevant posts. Keeping these little things in mind can ensure traffic to your website.
An article by: Ryan Larkin authors for www.broadbandproviders.com - a site to get information about the best deals in broadband internet. He writes on topics like Social Media, Technology and updates on the Internet.
We all use Facebook, whether it’s on our desktops, laptops, or smartphones-- Facebook is with us where ever we go and always accessible. So any change or variation in the use or interface of the social networking site is obviously going to be directly proportional to our concerns. But when we talk about concerns, perhaps the foremost concern is that users are not informed before the site brings about a change in its privacy settings. By the time a slightly haggard user actually figures out something is wrong, usually thanks to the influx of friends or acquaintances suddenly commenting and posting on otherwise restricted content, the damage has been done. All sorts of otherwise private content has already become public, and that too is rectified only after grappling with and trying to figure out how to adjust the new privacy settings.
Well, we are informed they say. Once you sign on to use Facebook, the site’s policies are there for the reading. What those who are pro-Facebook initiatives neglect is that whenever change in settings actually occurs, it is not brought to the attention of users. Yes, shifts to Timeline and new FB interfaces are introduced, but the fine print on policy is even more technical and difficult to read than tax returns a recent survey concluded. Sounds strange coming from a site where the goal is to make avenues of social communication easier for all. No wonder concerns are ripe when it comes to sudden changes and disregard in customized settings that users prefer to work with.
A second concern is that the site seems to be getting more and more susceptible to hacking. A widespread spamming attack that involved pornographic images back in November 2011 is just one example of how illicit content reached the website and had many users distressed as to the platform’s credibility. One of the reasons that Facebook has gained (and retained) so much fame throughout all this time is due to its ability to host games and other intriguing applications on the site itself.
The down side of this is that by giving such leeway to third party developers, the site has opened itself up to the possibility of further hacking and security breaches. Those consequences are just now beginning to register. What is irking users on a monumental scale is that Facebook does not seem to be taking the actions necessary (such as checking credentials of programmers for one) to stop this or cut down the possibility of hacking. The site is more focused on its own convenience rather than user convenience.
A final concern can be described as a fear of having Facebook become nothing but a platform for advertising and never ending spamming. The new ‘subscribe’ feature and the somewhat old feature of ‘liking’ a post, seems to be reminiscent of a popularity contest. With subscribing, Facebook has opened its doors to spambots and ‘how to get more subscriber’ schemes. Allowing widgets onto the site has also boosted what we may call ‘spammy’ apps for mobile phone users.,
It seems the entirety of user concerns center around privacy, and as an extension, to security. Whichever way you may be looking at it, anyone who is on FB is basically putting up personal information to the public, but that too with an expectation. The expectation is that the information will be guarded, protected, and not be used in any way that brings harm to the individual. In short, transparency is needed to overcome all concerns, regarding whatever they may be.

If you have a website or a blog, it is a must to have a good number of followers from the social networking sites where most traffic are supposed to come.

It has been reported that Facebook India is currently holding a promotion offering free talktime credit of 50 INR for signing up via mobile phone. The social networking giant is also offering the same credit to the referrer under which a new user is being sign up. Once a user signs up in this manner , the free talktime will be credited within three days of sign up. If by chance , the talktime is not credited the same user can email them at talktime@fb.com . . This sounds great for some, although the news has not been official confirmed.
In order to avail this opportunity the new user has to sign via mobile phone with the mobile number mandatory as registration details. Only the mobile number which has not been registered before, will get this benefit . Signing up to Facebook with your mobile is so simple that you don't even need to provide email id. Once you submit the registration detail , you will get instant confirmation code via sms to your inbox. Signing up via mobile is not always necessary if you don't have a gprs enabled handset . Just go to this link using your PC or laptop and you are ready for sign up. *Make sure you type the URL as http://m.facebook.com/tt .
This promotion seems to excite quite a number of new users and even the existing user as signing would benefit them with free credit. Well, also on the other hand it is not that the company are not concern about arising fake profiles out of this promotion. They knew it, though it is all about marketing strategies.. It can be noted that Facebook has already crossed 1 billion active users.
Why would they offer such promotion? Well there are valid reasons and they knew it very well what they are doing. First of all this is one of their masterminding Marketing strategy . They look each and every corner to market and expand their business. During recent analysis Facebook rose on reports of Mobile-advertising gains . Nearly 20% new Facebook fans come from mobile users alone . At present mobile users in India rose to 929.37 million subscribers. Besides ,Facebook users in India is still quite low as compare to some other parts of the world. This could be the good way of expanding their number .
Now-a-days , as Facebook has become an immensely popular social networking site , I suppose almost 80% of the world population must be using Facebook(pardon me if I am too much) particularly among the youngsters. Facebook can be access from almost any mobile with basic gprs facility. At the same time Mobile phone is also another thing which young people cannot stay a sec without it. People become so indebted with social networking sites that they cannot stay without login it every minute, every hour. It becomes indispensable , thus making a part of life.
Facebook makes it easy registration even from a "basic gprs enabled handset" with few registration details along with a mobile number . It gives a hassle-free to sign up even without an email ID. Thus most people used this way of signing up to Facebook(Particularly youngsters) .
And even if one would have sign up providing email IDs, there is a chance that they surely add their mobile number in their profile information... In this or the other way , you made your mobile number associated with your profile. Yes ,privacy can be set up so that only you or your friends can access your contact details. This is all about within Facebook.
However, say you want to find out someone's mobile number with whose Facebook profile is associated with. Then , no worry here's the way ,as Indian security researcher Suriya Prakash discovered recently. This could be boon in some way for telemarketers, hackers or spammers. Or you can used it in your own benefited way.
*Prakash found that this was true for the desktop version of Facebook, but not the mobile one.
Here is how you do .
1. Log into Facebook on a desktop browser. 2. copy this URL and paste it into the address bar:
http://m.facebook.com/search/?query=1234567890
3. Then substitute the number string 1234567890 with the desired mobile number and hit "Enter."
(Be sure to include the country code prefix — "1" for the U.S. and Canada, "91" for India, "44" for Britain, "33" France and so on..)
If your Facebook friend's number or a particular mobile number has listed on their Facebook profile, or if he's got a Facebook app on his smartphone, it'll show right up. In many cases, it works for "friends of friends" and for total strangers. See the below snap
Why? As Prakash found, the default Facebook privacy setting for "Who can look you up using the email address or phone number you provided?" is "Everyone."
(To see it yourself, click on the downward facing arrow next to the "Home" button in the upper-right corner of your Facebook page, then click "Edit Settings" next to "How You Connect.")
As contacted by TechNewsDaily, a Facebook representative said this was a feature, not a flaw.
"The ability to search for a person by phone number is intentional behavior and not a bug in Facebook," the representative wrote in an email.
In this article , you 'll learn (realized) how to drive maximum traffics to your blog; and how to stand on first of first page of the search engine , by applying few simple tricks.
Today, after a long gap I am feeding this blog again to avoid being starved. And I am sharing this delicious food with you, my friends. These tips are especially for blogger blog. I hope you like it. I had not even heard or knew "what is SEO" in the beginning when I joined blogger. As time pass I learn many things about the virtual world, particularly in blogging, their importance, how they earn money, how they connect with people, client , customers, how they market, what techniques they developed and so on.. There is a saying, "Content is King". That's right. So, maintaining quality content is the first and utmost priority before you proceed anything . Well , forgetting this and coming to our topic let's see the following few points.
Always use <h> tag for post heading and sub-heading. You can use h2 tag (if not h1)for post heading ,i.e post title.
Always write the post title with appropriate keywords and expression. Write it in the way someone has to type it in the search query.
Do not write unnecessary introduction, especially at the beginning of your story. The first two to three lines should be relevant to the topic. And this 2-3 lines should describe the meaning of the post title. Why? Because search results shows only the post title and the first few lines of the content. Some readers,if not all, always read the first few description that is displayed below the post title. If the description doesn't seem relevant to the info he/she is searching for, he may just skip away. If so what's the point standing on the first page of the search engine. For instance, among the below(pic) search result, i'll simply skip the rest and click the third one.
Switch your default blogger profile with toGoogle+ Profile. Doing so you can have better sharing of your articles on Google+ with friends , followers and even public as a whole. Posting/sharing your articles on Google+ will also enhance better search returned on Google search engine.
Not only this benefit, but also your profile photo will display along with the post title, on search result. Seeing the author photo along with the post title, the reader believed the originality and relevant info to what he is searching for.

Why would I recommend on Google plus, and leave Facebook ? reason :
My dear fellow , after careful examination and researched from the web and personal experienced, today let me discuss with you "why do I have to recommend on using google plus over Facebook" by discussing some uses and disadvantages. Most of you must have already known the differences and how it works. But there are still many of my friends who are unaware or much bothered about. Google is an internet giant, multi-platform based on search engine.While Facebook serves only as a social networking site (although a popular one). Google currently stands out to be most important internet resource for everyone in every field, in this internet world at present time. I would boldly say life without Google will be like life without air or oxygen. According Alexa, Google ranks 2 worldwide, next to Facebook. Google has indeed change our life and lifestyle. The team has been working and thriving constantly to stay ahead of all other internet resources. Facebook , as you know, it has only two strategies-1) Of course to connect people around. 2) Marketing is also another strategy. Well that sounds great!.
Now , coming to it's (Facebook) real disadvantages please analyse the following few points.
1. Intrusion: There's no surprised that facebook is vulnerable to attacks with viruses and malwares. Several hackers are actively trolling over people's profile information on daily basis. There are certain examples of this and many of you might have noticed changed in your profile information or some dirty dirty pictures posted without your knowledge.
2. Scamsand spams: Have you ever came across a fake website? Many hackers create similar websites like facebook. They also send emails like notification to people asking to check out new photos/ videos being uploaded by their friends in facebook.Thus when the user opens the link, the site exactly looks like facebook ,then he entered his username and password, not knowing that his account details is being stolen by the hacker. This tricks not only applies on facebook but also in other websites like banks and govt website.*So be careful while doing an online transaction.Make sure you type the correct URL,prefixed by https:// followed by site url.
3. Waste of time : I admit being a user, Facebook is very very addictive and one can become addictive very easily. I have few friends who used to spend on Facebook to almost 20 hours/day. It's just that once we are connected with friends, you realized how frequently you login your account, viewing others pictures , commenting and all stuff. But, in the end what did you really get from it. You only realised you have spend a good time sitting in front of your PC.
4. Personal privacy/insecurity: .Everyone wants to remained privacy from brothers, sisters, parents, some friends , boss or colleagues . We do not want to exposed personal information to some friends and particular group of people.In Facebook every individual updates and activities gets notified to everyone you are conected with. Of course, privacy settings can be maintain, but this seems quite complicated in Facebook. And so most people shrug off.
5. Ruining professional life: Well everyone has professional life, and ofcourse a facebook account(90%) . Often employers search their employees social networking profiles and their activities on the site. If you are applying for a new job, your chance of getting the job may reduced. May be you have put some naughty or humorous pictures on your profile, or might have put some wrong informations. The employers will be shocked to see all that stuff. Thus you'll be downgraded.
6.Jealousy : People say Facebook makes partner jealous. I don't how far is it true. But in my opinion, there are chances of developing jealousy among young partners. Lovers often get suspicious when their partners get hooked to the site. This are some common drawbacks. There are many more you must be knowing. I will not discuss the merits of Facebook now. Because in my opinion everything is good if it is use in its proper way.
Uses and the advantages of Google+ Over other social networks; and the reason being why I recommend.
In the summer of 2011, Google launched Google+ and has been making Facebook competition . But what exactly are the advantages of Google+ ? Why should we take a closer look at this new social network?
1.Google behind: Google+ is the latest social network that promises to take over the world with new interface, simplicity and total Google integration. Google plus has google behind it oviously , which makes communication integration simpler. All the contacts from Gmail, including our friends , colleagues and clients etc are already there and can be easily added to Google plus. There is also option to send your "wall updates and sharing" as email by simply checking the checkbox.
2. Faster and productive : Google plus is a lot faster. Facebook is now taking several seconds to load a page, each message and each photo. Business with Facebook just got slower by day . Everyone started getting rid of Facebook by passing days. Google plus is loading everything faster, and if the trends continue, all Google products gets faster by time, unlike Facebook.
3. Tough and strong: Google plus is tougher on abuse than facebook and you are more likely to get useful information and conversations on Google plus than Facebook.
4.Better spam control : Google plus has less harmful applications, spam not working. There are less fake profiles as well.
5. Circles : This is one of the best feature Google plus provides. Google plus users appreciate the Circle feature very much. Friends can be put into groups by just Checking/Unchecking on mouse hover; and the information being shared is targeted to the appropriate party. Grouping feature is also provided by Facebook, but creating such groups is much more complicated(works like a Page), which is the disadvantages for Facebook.
6.Better Privacy: Privacy is always becoming more important to social media users. Therefore users want to be able to share certain information with certain selected group of friends. Handling with these problems is very simple with Google plus. The particular of friends can excluded while sharing/ updating something.
7. Mail and Blogger(blogspot) : Another benefit is the networking of individual Google services. For example Google mail account or Blogger; the user has the ability to access the same and everything equally using Google plus.
8. Chat and Video : In comparision to facebook, chatting is even more easier and convenient. Google plus provides possibility for multiple users to communicate simultaneoudly with the so-called Hangout. This tool is much fascinated by youtube fans. During chat, a youtube video can be played and visible to all via this amazing tool. Google Hangout: Facebook has recently rolled out a video chat feature, which everyone loves it. However, at this time Hangout seems to be the better option since this tool makes it possible to have a video call with upto 10 people at the same time. Youtube is the largest video community in the internet world. It gives free access to everyone who has gmail account. And everyone can view and play it.
9. Picassa Album: Picassa is a free web album provided by Google .Presently it gives upto 1GB free of data storage, which is quite enough I should say. This very album can be connected via Google plus account and can be share the photos among G+ friends easily. Not only can you connect with the G+ , but also your album can be integrated to your website or blog as slide show or as gallery. This is cool isn't it?
10. Sparks :Another mind blowing feature is that Google plus offers a free subscription service fro delected articles using sparks. The user can choose which topics are interesting and accordingly Google plus adds relevant articles. These can then be shared with circles and discussed about it. This function is not only reserved for Google plus users , contact outside the network can also join the comversation. There are many more services provided by Google which I did not mentioned. All these are equally and easily accessible through Google plus.
Oh! one more, the +1 button which many say mimics the like button. But the fact is , it is more than what so-called "facebook like". Voting up a link or article on google +1 will meant that you are sharing the article with all your followers and it will displayed publicly on your profile, allowing it to be voted up by your followers again and the possibility of going viral through consequent votes. This enhance the search results in google search for that particular topic, which automatically give a boost to the traffic for the website.
People are misstating the question "Will G+ beat Facebook?". It's not about one site taking over another. Google+ has a better and greater role. The reason why Google calls it Google plus is that Google+ will become the central point of Google's whole identity. So what do think you my friends? I'm lonely in G+ . Why don't you come and join me? Add me below. Hover your mouse over Add to circle.
